Abstract

Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e- storage ring DORIS II at DESY, we have observed parity violation in the decay Λ±c → Λπ±. We measure the coefficient of parity violation, αΛc, to be -0.96±0.42. In addition, we measure σ BR (Λ+c → Λπ+ and σ BR (Λ+c → Σ0π+) to be, respectively, (2.2±0.3±0.4) pb and (2.0±0.7±0.4) pb.
